Solve a DVD rental mystery with pgweb

What's this blog post about?

This blog discusses the use of Graphical User Interface (GUI) tools for databases, specifically pgweb, an open-source tool for PostgreSQL. It highlights three main use cases where a database GUI tool complements command-line options: cutting the learning curve, increasing productivity, and providing additional options. The blog then demonstrates how to use pgweb to solve a DVD mystery by visualizing data from Crab Rental's PostgreSQL database. Finally, it emphasizes that while GUI tools are not replacements for command-line tools, they can be valuable additions in managing and analyzing databases.
